Justice - The US is offering rewards up to 50 million
dollars for wanted terrorists. This program was established
by the 1984 Act to Combat International Terrorism. Under the Rewards
Program, cooperating individuals and their immediate family members may
be eligible for relocation to the United States or elsewhere, and they
are assured complete confidentiality. Rewards, totaling millions
of dollars, have been paid in dozens of cases. Innocent lives
have been saved and terrorists put behind bars.

Hoaxbusters Big List of Hoaxes -
Interspersed among the junk mail and spam that fills our Internet
e-mail boxes are dire warnings about Terrorist attacks, devastating new
viruses, Trojans that eat the heart out of your system, and malicious
software that can steal the computer right off your desk. Added
to that are messages about free money, children in trouble, and other
items designed to grab you and get you to forward the message to
everyone you know. Most all of these messages are hoaxes or chain
letters.

Emergency Respose Team (CERT) - Home network security
information for home users - an overview of the security risks and
countermeasures associated with Internet connectivity, especially in
the context of "always-on" broadband access services (such as

Internet using a modem).

How
to Protect Yourself From Email Fraud - One of the biggest
problems we face is that of email and Internet fraud. Basically email
fraud is when an email is sent by someone who makes a false claim. The
purpose of this type of email would be to con the recipient into acting
in a way that can result in a loss of money. Email fraud is becoming
one of the biggest problems that people currently face online. While
laws are in place protecting people from becoming victims of the scam,
the key is being aware of potential dangers and to avoid being a
victim.

Internet Crime Complaint
Center (IC3) - A partnership between the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)

complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime.
The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use
reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or
civil violations. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at
the federal, state, local and international level, IC3 provides a
central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related
crimes.

Spyware or other malicious Badware on your computer.
